1 tbsp baking powder - sifted
¼ tsp baking soda - sifted
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp pumpkin pie spice (I will accept cinnamon as well)
½ cup very soft butter
whir together with a blender until all butter is well incorporated and mixture resembles coarse sand
YES, I SAID IT CORRECTLY: you mix the BUTTER with the dry ingredients. Are you an idiot? Of course not. Neither am I. This is going to give us a much better cake texture. Shall we continue now?

Well? What are you waiting for? GO MAKE THIS CAKE, MOTHER%$*ER!!!
* I love Jules. Jules is awesome, but he is not a character I created. You can find Jules in Quentin Tarantino's PULP FICTION (1994).
What is that on your counter, sweet what?? I can't read it.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, off to make the cookie cake now.
Pahahahaha!!!! Cracks me the f*ck up! Totally off subject, but in the realm of stuff with my favorite word f*ck in it....have you heard of the book "Go the f*ck to sleep"? It's a children's bedtime story. No seriously. Saw it at a shower and absolutely fell in love. :D I'm pretty sure it's narrated by the awesome Mr. Jackson on youtube somewhere, but I could be making that up. Check it out.
ReplyDeletelmao! i love this! now i'm going to need to eat this cookie cake with a royale with cheese and then blow some muthaf&@#*er's away with my hand cannon.
ReplyDeletemaria, i love that book! hilarious!
maybe i should make the cake and give it to all the angry and disgrunteled[sp?]employees at matt's christmas party.
ReplyDeletenow that entry didn't do anything for my stress at all! In fact, I think my anxiety levels went up a notch or two. It had someone swearing at me loudly AND a recipe. Dear Lord, I think I'm feeling the itch to 'go postal' and end it all.
ReplyDeleteTomatoes, Lizbeth my dahling! And in case anyone is wondering, that is my kitchen table because thanks to shitty 1920's home design, I literally have about 13 inches of counter and that's it.
ReplyDeleteGREAT, RIGHT?
Maria, I did indeed hear that book! I only liked it read by Samuel L. as well.
ReplyDeleteyou can't eat a royale with cheese, Sherilinnie. You'd have to eat a Mcsoy with cheese :)
ReplyDeleteBut that did sound BADASS.
angry, AND disgruntled Miss PAULA?!? Well COOKIE CAKE is EXACTLY what they need then! seriously--my kids and nieces go BANANAS for it. I think it's because it has cookies on it, and COOKIE in the name. It just sounds exciting. Brings out the happy KID in all of us (if indeed I still have one)
ReplyDeleteMatt, sounds like you need a big slice of cookie cake and then just pick yourself up and start again, old kid, old sock :)
ReplyDeleteNo going postal, just eat cake!
Hee! I love it when recipes yell at me.
ReplyDeleteI am totally in the baking mood. Yesterday I made red velvet cupcakes, but since you ARE commanding we us to make the Mother F%@#&*^% Cookie Cake, I guess I'll just have to do it :-)
Okay!! Okay!!! I will MAKE the mot!?er f*&#king cake!! Just don't shoot!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not very domestic (I am, however, the Queen of the Understatement), so I usually skip over recipe-related blog posts, but NOT THIS ONE!! Jules is DA MAN! Or not. Depending on which side of the gun you're on.
Genius.
I wouldn't want Jules to go midieval on my ass, so I'd better try this. Great post.
ReplyDeleteVesta, this is interesting, because now I am aware that modern red velvet cake can be chocolate OR vanilla--which did you make?
ReplyDeleteI freaking love cake.
Let me know how it turns out if you make it!
thanks Grace! The Man (my hub) informs me that I am actually not very domestic. I do like baking occasionally though (but always wish someone else would f*$%ing clean that $*&! up.
ReplyDeletethanks George! This is how insane I am: for at least a couple of weeks all I could picture in my mind was Jules explaining how to make this cake.
ReplyDeleteClearly I'm losing it.
Tomato's???? So now I'm going really off topic here but what'd ya make with the tomato's???
ReplyDeletethey were little cherry tomatoes so I was either just snacking on them or had added them to a salad, and either way I didn't clean up after myself yet which is typical :)
ReplyDeleteI think you did a wonderful job of writing for Jules. It seemed perfect to me, I could hear his delivery of every single line.
ReplyDeleteif i'm holding my muthaf*%$king hand cannon i'll eat what i f*@&$ing want to eat
ReplyDeleteHIlarious. Did you ever see the little clip he did reading a goodnight story? It is so funny I think I peed. If you don't know what I'm talking about, let me know and I will find it again!
ReplyDeleteMy best baking moments always come through a trip to the bakery to buy fully made stuff. It gives me such a feeling of accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteNow, this is a recipe I thoroughly enjoyed reading! It sounds like it would taste awesome.
ReplyDeleteMuchas Gracias, George. I do put my ALL into wasting time :)
ReplyDeleteOkay Sherilin! OKAY! I can't argue with the hand cannon.
ReplyDeletefunny Daniele, because Maria mentioned that too! I guess everyone loves that book, yes? Or at least, all GROWNUPS LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteLaoch, I can only endorse this if the bakery you frequent KICKS SOME MOTHER$@^&ING ASS.
ReplyDeleteMost don't.
it did taste awesome, Paula, and kids lose their minds for it a little bit. Must be the cookies.
ReplyDeletethat is one sweet motherfucking cookie cake.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT.
Sue, it is and it WAS! It never lasts very long.
ReplyDeleteWow, I think I just went into a sugar coma. :)
ReplyDeletePS. You've been Liebstered!
